An Inspired Division of Etsy Artists

Colleen Baran

“Colleen Baran is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist who has exhibited in galleries and museums in 11 countries and been published in a few more. Recently publications include the books ‘500 Wedding Rings’, ‘500 Plastic’ and ‘Kirtsy Takes a Bow’. Additionally she’s won awards for jewellery and photography- also both locally and internationally.

Jewelry is handmade with care and attention to craftsmanship. Made with focus on eco-friendly practices many pieces are made of recycled silver.

Inspired by a love of pattern and line, shapes are clean modern with jewellery that ranges from commercial to conceptual. Colleen is particularly in love with exploring rings and enjoys making large or oversized cocktail rings that are surprising comfortable. Both form And function!

About the HandMade Division Team:

My desire is to create a network of artisians who not only aspire constantly for more within their craftmanship, but also are wonderful people to know.... Our blog is our gathering spot to showcase who we are, what we create, and what we are about. Our members come from a Multi Media experience including Metalwork, Jewellery, Beading, Photography, Leatherwork, Painting, Collage; and more.
I hope you'll stop in often and see what we're up to :)
And be sure to mention the team if you happen to shop in any of our artists' shops ~ so they know where you found them!
